U.S. Drafts New U.N. Security Council Measure on Syria 
-------------------------------------------------------



The United States has reportedly drafted an outline for a new U.N.
Security Council measure that would focus on delivering humanitarian to
Syria. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney spoke about the effort on
Tuesday.

Jay Carney: "I think we need to focus on those actions which have the
greatest chance of success and that includes efforts to organize
humanitarian aid. It includes efforts to further isolate and pressure
Assad. It includes efforts to assist the Syrian opposition to organize
itself and unify and continue to work with our allies at the highest
levels to examine additional steps that might be taken."
